2. 16. Evaluation of patients with an anterior cruciate ligament rupture, before and after reconstruction, with special emphasis on the use of the KT-1000 arthrometer

   Author : Ninni Sernert; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; anterior cruciate ligament; KT-1000 arthrometer; knee evaluation systems; knee; laxity; right left knee laxity difference;

   Abstract : The aim of the study was to analyse the outcome and function after anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) reconstruction using different evaluation systems. Special emphasis was placed on thesagittal knee laxity as measured with the KT-1000 arthrometer. READ MORE

4. 17. Kinematics and laxity in the knee, before and after Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction. Evaluation using dynamic and static radiostereometric analysis

   Author : Jonas Isberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : ACL; KT-1000; early reconstruction; early extension; kinematics; laxity; RSA;

   Abstract : Introduction: Whether full active and passive extension training, started immediately after an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction, will increase the post-operative A-P laxity of the knee has been the subject of discussion. For many years, many protocols have included full extension with full weight bearing after an ACL reconstruction. READ MORE

   Abstract : Injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most common orthopedic diagnoses. It is also one of the most researched areas in orthopedic surgery, with well over eleven thousand publications. READ MORE

6. 19. New aspects on timing and graft morbidity in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

   Author : Christoffer von Essen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to investigate the effect of different surgical techniques on knee function and outcomes after an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR). In Study I, 70 patients with a Tegner level of six or more were assessed after randomisation between acute ACLR (within 8 days after the injury) and delayed ACLR (after normalised range of motion [ROM] 6–10 weeks after the injury) using a four-strand semitendinosus tendon graft.

7. 20. Anterior cruciate ligament injuries : studies on the adverse events and long-term outcomes

   Author : Osama Omar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The overall aims of this thesis were to identify the main adverse events after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, to study the clinical presentation and the consequences of the adverse event (post-operative septic arthritis), and to report the long-term outcomes of patients who underwent acute anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and those who underwent delayed ACLR. Study I investigated the reasons behind compensation claims filed to the patient insurance company (Löf) by patients with ACL injuries from 2005 to 2014. READ MORE
